l SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 292,489, datedJanuary 29, 1884,

Application led September 20, 18H3. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PETER HUFE, residing at New York, in the State ofNew York, have invented a new and useful Improvement4 in Faucets, ofwhich the following is a specification.

My improvement consists in the arrangement of afaucet capable ofdischarging through branches of various sizes, for the purpose of 1ofilling bottles or other vessels having different sizes of necks,without the employment of ""a funnel. This I accomplish by an attachmentofarevolvingcappieceprovidedwithbranches of various sizes, either ofwhich can be readily moved in a line with the mouth of the faucet todischarge directly into the neck of the bottle or other vessel; and,further, my improvement consists in the arrangement of a shield coveringthe mouth of the various branches 2o not in use to prevent dust or otherimpurities entering the same.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure I represents a faucet with therevolving cappiece arranged to turn vertical on the faucet.

2 5 Fig. II is a front view of the same. Fig. 'III represents a sectionof a faucet with the revolving cap-piece arranged to turn horizontal lyon the faucet. I

Similar letters represent similar parts in all 3o the figures.

A is the main pipe, inserted in the cask or barrel from which the liquidis to be. drawn, provided with a suitable cock, B. The head D of thispipe', arranged to discharge down- 3 5 ward, carries a ring, E, capableof turning freely on said head D, and secured in its place by a suitableplate, F, screwed on the head, or otherwise attached to the same. Thisrng E is provided with four or more branches, J J

4o J J, gradually diminishing in size, which can easily be turned tocome in line with the mouth A of the pipe A, as may be required. In theplate F arpin, m, is placed, entering into' corresponding holes, n n nn, whereby the branches in the ring E will be fixed in their properposition in relation to the mouth A of the faucet, and there retained aslong as desired. v K

G is a plate covering the ends or mouths of the branches not in a linewith the mouth A of the faucet, to prevent the admission of dust orother impurities into the same. This plate or shield G is supported bysuitable rods or brackets, L, attached to the head D. f

In Fig. III the mouth A of the faucet discharges horizontally, and thering E turns horizontally around the enlarged head D. The ends of thebranches J, J', J, and J are in this case turned downward to dischargein the usual manner, andthe plate or shield G is placed below the endsof these branches not in connection with the mouth A. The pin m is inthis case arranged in the upper part of the head D, acting in a mannersimilar as above With the movable ring E, having holes n, n',

n,`and n, for the purpose substantially as set forth.
